The blog is called ten percent because of what Kurt Vonnegut wrote when remembering Susan Sontag - She was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80 percent could be moved in either direction.-

And I'm writing it because I need the therapy and I lust for world domination.

…and then they mended the line

6 April, 2009 — RickB

My guess is TalkTalk don’t pay BT engineers the perhaps more expensive weekend rates, so when the line went on Friday it didn’t get repaired until this afternoon (Monday). Some builders or a farmer with a big vehicle took out the cable, this is the sort of area second homes owners infest (developments, extensions being built etc) and they are not short of cash despite what you might be told about the crisis, funny that. I did send a Twitter message about the comms failure but er, that little plug in down the right side also seems to shut down quite often. Ho-hum.
